HelloPharmacist Scorecard of MK-7 Vitamin K-2 100 mcg by NOW
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This supplement contains one active ingredient: vitamin K2, a form of vitamin K at 100 micrograms per capsule. The remaining ingredients — rice flour, hypromellose, ascorbyl palmitate, and silicon dioxide — are inactive excipients that help form and preserve the capsule.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Vitamin K2 is rated effective for correcting vitamin K-dependent clotting factor deficiency, hypoprothrombinemia (low clotting factor levels), hemorrhagic disease (bleeding disease), and maintaining warfarin's anticoagulation when intake is consistent. For osteoporosis, the evidence is rated possibly effective — there's some promise, but we'd need more research to say how well it works.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Taken by mouth, vitamin K2 is generally well tolerated. The most common side effects are mild: nausea, diarrhea, stomach upset, and abdominal pain.
Serious adverse effects are rare. Because dietary vitamin K amounts are fine but supplements warrant a conversation with your doctor or pharmacist first, talk with your provider before starting this product — especially if you're on any blood-thinning medication.
Vitamin K2 is rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation.
Meds to double-check
Major interaction found
Before taking this product, double-check your medications with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on any blood thinners, particularly warfarin (Coumadin). Vitamin K can reduce how well these drugs work, and your dose may need adjustment.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This supplement is appropriate for people who need to maintain adequate vitamin K levels or support bone health, but anyone on a blood thinner — especially warfarin — should check with their doctor or pharmacist before taking it. Even if you're not on medication, a quick conversation with your healthcare provider before starting any supplement is always a smart move.

HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
NOW's MK-7 Vitamin K-2 100 mcg does interact with medications — specifically through its vitamin K2 content and blood thinners.
The most serious concern is warfarin (Coumadin), a Major interaction: vitamin K can reverse warfarin's blood-thinning effect, which means your clotting ability could return and raise your risk of clots. Vitamin K does this by antagonizing — working against — how warfarin keeps your blood from clotting too easily.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Warfarin is not the only blood thinner affected. Altogether, these interactions span 2 individual medications.
If you take any blood thinner, don't start this supplement without checking with your doctor or pharmacist first. Even small changes in vitamin K intake can shift how well your anticoagulant works, and your dosing may need to be adjusted to keep you safe.
